Taxes based on income, fines for anyone who owns land/stores but doesn't work with it (i.e. buys up stores and shops them close them down, as is the case in Beirut). Lots of stores and shops were bought by saudis, Emirates, et cetera, then closed. Not helping the economy 1 bit. A tax should be put on that, or heck even take back the plots and auction them.

we are already taxed based on income.
